Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) is a proprietary remote management
and control system for personal computers with Intel CPUs. It is dangerous
because it has full access to personal computer hardware at a very low level,
and its code is secret and proprietary.

The GNU/FSF servers are moving between February 22nd and March 1st, 2012. There will be service interruptions during that period. There will be a multi-hour outage for most services on February 28th, 2012, starting at 10am EST (UTC/GMT -5).

The sysadmins at the FSF have put great effort into consolidating our server infrastructure over the past 12 months. We have retired more than a dozen servers in the process, and now host most of our infrastructure on three potent machines with many CPU cores, ample RAM, and plenty of disk space. As you may know, we use Xen to virtualize our servers. Virtualization allows us to securely partition our servers into many virtual machines, each dedicated to a limited number of tasks.
